39 weeks....feeling dazed and confused! Help!

[Duesept20]

Hey everyone!

So I'm 39 weeks tomorrow, and yesterday my bump dropped quite a bit (I'll attach a photo of before and after).

I now obviously have a lot of pressure in my pelvis, period type pain on and off, and occasional back pain.

But I also feel realllllly dazed and confused and not like me at all. I suddenly feel a bit panicky and confused and not really sure what to do with myself.

Is this normal in the last few weeks of pregnancy? Should I be concerned? I feel sooooo weird and its really getting to me 😟

Here's the photo of the bump drop 🙂

I'd give your midwife (or wherever you have been told to contact) a ring and tell them how you feel. It could just be end of pregnancy or it could be blood pressure/iron levels / something else. You'll feel better if you ask.

How neat is your bump OP! I was your size 8 weeks ago! 😂😂
I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and I have the odd day when I feel all over the place. My Bump has dropped too and getting a lot of pains!
I'm hoping the end is in sight!

I'd check with your midwife just in case, but wondering whether it could potentially have dropped onto a nerve or blood vessel or something?
(I don't know whether that is a "thing")

Are you confused, or just a bit restless? I’m 39 weeks tomorrow and id say i’ve been feeling a bit more anxious/restless as of late but not confused as such....

I'm due on the same day as you 😊. I have just been more tired as not sleeping well, and had some heavier pressure/crampy Braxton Hicks but maybe you just need to rest a bit more? Hope you feel better soon!

I have no idea if it’s normal but just a message to say I feel the exact same today, except I’m a bit earlier than you, I’m 35+6! My bump also seemed to drop within the last 24 hours.

Today I walked out a shop to my car the wrong way down the street, even though I parked up minutes before! I mixed my words up a couple of times and have felt a bit dazed. Also had a couple dull achey stomach pains.

I thought I might just be tired but if you do hear it’s a sign of anything else, please do post on here! As maybe I should be more concerned.

Hope you feel better tomorrow x
